The Engineer
& The Bridge

I am a Chinese–English interpreter and assistant engineer with a strong background in hydropower engineering, coal-fired power plant and structural analysis. With hands-on experience alongside Chinese Engineers, I support technical translation, documentation, and onsite coordination during commissioning and operation phases.

A Childhood Spent Moving

Eleven schools across Jessore, Mymensingh, Savar, Barisal, and Dhaka — each move sharpened adaptability, built resilience, and quietly prepared a future engineer and interpreter for a life lived between worlds.

Numerical Analysis of Riverbank Slope Stability Considering Rainfall, Vegetation and Water Level Fluctuation

📰 Journal of Engineering Research and Sciences (JENRS) 📅 April 2024 📦 Vol. 3, Issue 4, pp. 20–31 🔗 DOI: 10.55708/js0304003
This study investigates the stability of alluvial silt riverbank slopes along the Yellow River under combined effects of rainfall, vegetation root reinforcement, and rapid water level drawdown. Laboratory physical models were constructed and tested using a rainfall simulation system at 30 mm/h, while numerical analysis was performed using Plaxis 3D with the Mohr-Coulomb and Hardening Soil models. Results show that vegetation reduced slope displacement by over 64% during rainfall, raising the factor of safety from 1.007 (bare soil) to 2.86. During rapid drawdown, vegetated slopes maintained a factor of safety of 2.39 versus 1.3 for bare slopes, underscoring the critical role of root systems in slope stabilisation.
